My (step) grandson needed a bookcase for his room and asked if I was able to make one.  I made one using premium pine from the mill.  I still need to give it a final sanding, but for the most part is done.  He and his girlfriend want to do the finish work.  God knows what that will look like, but maybe they will surprise me.

 

 

 

Very nice! I'll bet,  seeing how nice it is, they'll be extra cautious with the finish. 

Wow, Pauley, that's gorgeous! Seems like you are never at a loss for new projects!

It’s not so much about being cautious, it about his weirdness.  Ha ha ha.. guess I’ll see when he has it done.

Thanks Lew.  Well, I’ve been out of the shop for a while, some health issues and the fact that for about 2 hours I had 11 fingers.  Be very careful,with the bandsaw!

How well I know!!

him:  let's stain it dark

 

her:  let's paint it bright green.....

Great job on a classic form. I am sure they will do it the best justice they can on finish.

I predict it will stay in the family for a LONG time, and get finished at least one more time. Looks awesome!

Nice classic design.  Beautifully, skillfully done!

You did an awesome job on that bookcase @Pauley. Beautifully crafted

Beautiful job Pauley

Nicely done.  Looks great.

Thanks Gerald.  He said he send me a photo when it was done.  If he does, I’ll post it here.
